I still think Eri is straight as an arrow. She might try to date Fuyuki for the sake of not losing her, but she’ll eventually realize she has to force herself to love Fuyuki in a way she was never capable of in the first place.

The tragedy is that people can see someone as the most important person in their world and still not be able to love them romantically.

I'm not entirely against a FuyukixEri end game but can't Fuyuki at least have a period in her life where she's not revolving around Eri? Like actually fall in love with others/have real relationships. Y'know, be able to explore herself, open herself to other people.

It's probably petty of me thag I want them apart for a while(even as just friends).

IRL, can you really just forget seeing them f*cking? I had something similar happen, and we never forgot to poke fun on our friend for it and we're just friends (is it a cultural thing? Because that's hella embarassing for us asians usually)

Probably more traumatic for Fuyuki 'cause she's known both her entire life(aside from she's mad in love with one). I'm surprised she got over that quick.

I agree with you. It's one thing knowing your crush is fucking around but it's another thing entirely witnessing it for yourself. (I know they are not dating but this is NTR in my opinion) And this crush is the only person you have ever loved since forever so imagine the heartbreak Fuyuki had. I know it's petty and won't happen but I wish Fuyuki slept with senpai at least once.

Eh, I wouldn't say NTR. That'll be doing this series a disservice.

But, yes that's exactly what I thought too. Seeing and hearing are very different and humans are such visual creatures. I don't think you can just unsee things just because you can rationalize it in your head. I honestly want them to make up, but it's a bit meh for me if they end up together in this arc. It's too bad FuyukixSenpai was barely even anything.

They have a lot of healing and growing up to do without each other IMO.

It IS ntr because she saw it, if they were a couple it would be ntr AND cheating. Its ntr if you see the person you like with someone else even if that person is not dating with you; also ntr does not necessary need to be sex it can also be something "smaller" like a kiss.

"I wonder if Fuyuki is interested in girls"

I actually don't get this line. Is she thinking that Fuyuki is just Erisexual? Either way, Kisaki is the best, I hope she can find happiness. Preferably with a nice girl and not her step-dad.
in which chapter is said that the guy she likes is her step-dad? it has been too long i cant remember that at all

Sorry if this is already out there somewhere but are there any instructions on how to buy the digital releases from amazon jp if you’re not from japan? I wanna support this series since I’ve been quietly following it since the very first chapter (about 2 years ago now!) but I’m having trouble trying to buy it since its my first time doing this😭

It's been mentioned a few times, including in this chapter, but the 19.5 extra chapter is the one which really focuses on it.

In fairness,
Kisaki still loves her stepdad.

I don't think she still loves her stepdad. Like Fuyuki said, Kisaki doesn't need her "help" anymore—pretty much indicating that she's already moved on.

Actually, I think when Eri asks Kisaki, "But you love Fuyuki, right?" and Kisaki replies "Of course," that's Kisaki revealing her true feelings.

But she still helps Eri because she knows Fuyuki's happiness lies with Eri. Kisaki used to believe that if the person she loved didn't love her back, then that person might as well die. But she's changed.

When she heard Fuyuki's thought that she'd rather suffer if it meant making the person she loves smile again—that really changed Kisaki. Now, Kisaki wishes for their happiness, even if it means she'll suffer for the one she loves.

Because, as she said: "Fuyuki said I was kind. Because of that, I feel like I can became kinder." to wishes them happiness.

Going back and re-reading it again, I agree with you.
At first I thought it was Kisaki just saying she was no longer in pain over her feelings for her stepfather - given her whole relationship with Fuyuki was mutual painful unrequited love. So at minimum I figure she'd reckoned with her feelings and had come to a healthy position over them, but I thought it was still ambiguous as to whether she loved him.

But I think it's at best a difference without a distinction, because the operative bit is she's no longer hurting. But also I don't see how any romantic feelings could persist that wouldn't be painful for her given the exact situation, so it arguably makes the most sense that she's moved past them.

I'm still up in the air on whether she has romantic feelings for Fuyuki, though it would make sense that she would even if their relationship was "pretend" and built upon mutual need and pain--just by virtue of their time and proximity with one another. The exact term Eri uses is "like", but....it's Eri, so I think that exact word usage is significant but also purposefully ambiguous given its source.

I absolutely will say Kisaki considers Fuyuki extremely important to her, but what precise form of "love" or "like" her feelings take, I'm reading as being left up to the reader to decide.

She clearly cares enough about Fuyuki to quash any hypothetical romantic feelings though, given Fuyuki's heart is fully set on Eri, and again it's kind of a moot point because their relationship together will end as it has been up to this point with both of their unrequited love arcs either having resolved, or being imminently resolved (one way or the other).
